Remember the room change for the lecture on Thursday April 27: from CS 2311 to CS 1310, which is right below CS2311.
Actually, we found a little inconsistency in the TPPT setup: for A6, the tppt..initDummy is on UnderMultiUser server, and tppt.tppt.initDummy is on SingleUser server. A6 has been revised to clarify this.
4/24/06
Fixed a typo in A6: "FROM tppt.tppt.initDummy" should be "FROM tppt..initDummy".

After saying this at least 3 times in classes, we finally had the first pop quiz in class today. Statistics: total: 20, max: 19, min 2 (the really low scores were because some students came late and did not hear the review). As I said, these quizzes can only affect your total grades positively: if you do well, you can use them for upto 10% of the course grades to reduce the weight of your final exam from 40% to 30% (in fact, even if you do not get ideal grades on the quizzes, doing them will make you better prepared for the final).
